I wrote this ages ago and never updated so sorry bout that, I'm back on track.

OK so the song might flick between applying to different characters, but its my fic so I figured I could do it however I wanted! Hope it goes OK :D And by the way, there is a lot of story before I reach the song, but it's applied to Kitty and Lance and she had to get to him first!

Disclaimer: I don't own Xmen Evolution :( or busted :( :( !!!

Better than this:

"Kurt, cummon just, like, tell me who punched you? I know someone must have!"

Kurt sighed, and for what seemed like the hundredth time since before lunch told Kitty,

"No Keety, eet doesn't matter."

Kurt tried to avoid making eye contact with her. How could he look at her when he was deliberately not telling her that her boyfriend had punched him? Kurt wasn't for a second blaming himself for the fight, Lance had started it by taunting him about Kitty. Even he seemed to know how he felt about her. Everyone did, except Kitty herself! But Kurt hadn't helped the situation when he virtually told Lance that Kitty chose Kurt over him. Well, not that that was true. Kitty was dating Lance, not him, wasn't she?

"Fine." Huffed Kitty stubbornly,

"I'll guess. . .it was probably not just some random guy so. . .a member of the brotherhood?"

"Keety I don't vant you to guess,"

"OK so it's a member of the brotherhood."

Kurt looked up startled,

"I didn't say that!"

"No," Kitty consented, "but you looked it," she explained unhelpfully, before continuing,

"So, was it. . .um. . .Blob? Nah, you would have been much worse off if he sat on you. Was it. . .em. . .Quicksilver? But wouldn't he just run circles around you, laugh, then leave? Hmm. . .well I doubt it was Toad! Ick! So who does that leave?"

Kurt was getting more and more nervous as Kitty's rambling continued. He knew she was drawing closer and closer to discovering the truth, and he didn't know what she would do once he realised that it was Lance. Who's side would she be on?

"Oh my gosh!"

She knew.

"Lance! It leaves Lance? Did Lance touch you?!" This was sounding promising, Kurt thought. She was mad. At Lance?

"What happened Kurt? I'm surprised you got away with just that injury! What did he do?"

Kurt could tell Kitty was genuinely concerned, she hadn't used the word "like" in three sentences! He attempted to avoid telling her the entire story but Kitty always had her way, and eventually she had the whole picture. And she was angry!

"I've got to, like, totally go talk to him! He can't just hit you, I mean he started it and I did forget to call him. Oh, and I guess I should check if he's OK too. . ." she trailed off uncertainly, as if she had just remembered that she really should have been concerned about him first. He was her boyfriend after all.

"After all," she laughed, brushing aside the doubts that had begun to creep up on her,

"He was in a fight with you!" Kitty winked at Kurt,

"He was lucky you wouldn't fight with him in public!" Kitty gave Kurt a last hug and flew out of the door, leaving Kurt quite breathless. That really wasn't the reaction he had expected.

"Lance. . .Lance?" Kitty knocked fiercely on the door to the brotherhood's house, or what they liked to call a house. Kitty, however, would call it a dump! But she had never said so to Lance. Until now,

"Lance, somebody, open the door to this dump and let me I wanna talk to you!"

At first Lance thought that Kitty had finally remembered about him and had come to see him. He was sure Kurt wouldn't want to worry his "best friend" with the fight they had, would he? Soon enough Lance was convinced he had! Kitty didn't sound too happy. But how could she take that blue freaks side? He had not only boasted about how Kitty and him had gone out to the beach, but had run off like the stupid coward that he was! While Lance was thinking this, he had reached the door,

"OK Pretty Kitty I'm here! Miss me?"

The second that he opened the door Lance almost regretted it. He was bombarded by Kitty asking him question after question and accusing him of a countless different things, most of them to do with her "best friend" Kurt-the-freak-Wagner. Lance just stared at her, unable to counter or even answer her onslaught.

The more I look the more I find it hard to say

I'm uncultured but I'm not quite sure what that means

Why bring me down, and complicate?

Finally Kitty paused long enough for Lance to have his say,

"Look, Pretty-Kitty, I don't know what you think you know but blue boy and I just had a little scuff, nothing to worry about!"

Kitty looked indignant,

"A little scuff? Then why is, like, Kurt's lip burst and why do you look like every move is, like, agony? And don't call him blue boy like that! In that tone you make it sound bad! You are so into calling him a freak but we are no better. Cummon Lance we are totally mutants too!"

You took my words but then you hear them a different way

We are talking, leaves me not quite sure what to say

Lance decided to attempt to take control of the situation. He couldn't have Kitty knowing just how much he despised and was jealous of Kurt!

"Look, Kitty, it. . .was. . .nothing!" The way Lance stressed his words made Kitty pause. It was obviously nothing. But Lance sounded dangerous, would he hurt her too? No, he loved her. Right?

We're talking now, but is it too late?

"Lance, may be I came on too strong. Let's just rewind. OK? Talk about our holidays and then, like, we can come to Kurt." Lance nodded as they sat down, Kitty suppressing a grimace of disgust at the hygiene levels of the brotherhood!

Who's listening now?

Why won't you. . .

"So, like, how was your holiday Lance?"

Lance grunted in response, before adding,

"How was yours Pretty-Kitty?"

Kitty checked herself from yelling at Lance not to call her that stupid name, and replied,

"It was, like, totally great I got a great tan! And that trip to the beach yesterday totally helped too!"

Kitty stopped! She had just brought that trip with Kurt back into the conversation again! But it had been accidentally, it just came naturally to mention the things that she did with Kurt!

"Yeah out with. . .Kurt. . ." Lance stressed his name, which was almost as bad as the out-and-out insults that he usually gave,

". . .all day yesterday! You didn't even call!"

Kitty was stumped. She hadn't meant to offend Lance. She was just so pleased to see Kurt again that she wanted to spend some time with him. Besides, she hadn't been sure where Lance was!

"I. . .um. . .yeah but I was gonna come see you today! Lance, am I not allowed to hang out with my friend?"

"Your "best friend"!" Lance spat. Kitty sat in silence.

Yeah her best friend, Kurt was her best friend. Why did Lance have such a problem with that? What did he expect her to do, she wasn't going to ignore Kurt just for Lance!

Find me and show me

What do you want from me?

There's gotta be better than this!

Lance sat in angry silence. He was sure Kitty liked that freak Kurt better than him. May be she even loved him! She was no great girlfriend! She always brought up that freak into the conversation. Lance was sure she didn't talk about him that much with Kurt! He knew he was jealous, but he didn't care. He knew it could ruin everything, but what could he do about it? She should just stop talking to that blue freak, why did she like him anyway?

I don't wanna leave you

But may be I need to

There's gotta be better than this!

Oh-wah-oh

Kurt lay on his bed. Again. This was becoming somewhat of a habit. Smile with Kitty. Kitty leaves. Go to bed. Cry. Great life cycle Wagner! But it was his fault. He used to flirt with her a lot, but somehow it wasn't so serious. And then Lance came along and Kurt realised how much he really loved her. Before that it had been much easier. He perhaps had even stood a chance, but he didn't realise that until he had blown it. Now everything with Kitty was him, but underneath he was hiding the fact that he loved her!

Do you remember when we talked for hours on end

Just being stupid but at least we didn't pretend

You're smile helped me to find my way

Really he couldn't sit around and sulk. He didn't know what to do though.

Who's listening now?

Why won't you. . .

If only he could just be straight with Kitty. Get it all out. But what would she do? And what about Lance? Everything was so confusing, could he really go on like this?

Find me and show me

What do you want from me?

There's gotta be better than this!

Oh-wah-oh

Lance and Kitty were still sitting in silence. Kitty with her thoughts all mixed up about Kurt and Lance. She cared about them both a lot. She couldn't sacrifice either of them. But if she had to, to protect one, she knew she would. . .

Lance, on the other hand, was full of jealousy and hatred. It built up inside of him until he came to an irrational conclusion,

"Kitty I know you are in love with Wagner!" he exclaimed,

"You can't love me and him! You have to choose or leave!"

I don't wanna leave you,

But baby I need to!

There's gotta be better than this!

Oh-wah-oh!

Kitty started. What? Was he insane? In love with Kurt? He was her best friend. . .right? Yes. No. Wait, she didn't love him! Lance was being paranoid. But she did care about fuzzy a lot. How much?

If only you would never know.

She didn't know. What could she do? She was so afraid.

"Lance don't be stupid! I don't. . .don't love Kurt!" somehow she didn't sound convinced herself now. And Lance noticed!

"Kitty you do! I knew it you do!"

"No, Lance, like, why did you have to bring this up? You're just jealous of our friendship!"

"Damn right I am Pretty-Kitty, you're mine!"

Kitty stood up,

"I am nobodies property but I was your girlfriend. Oh I am your girlfriend Lance don't let this ruin things. He is my friend!"

Kitty walked to the door,

"I'm leaving you to cool off Lance!" Really Kitty knew she was just running away.

I'll dream this away,

And come back another day,

When I'm less afraid of it all.

Lance was fuming. The whole room began to shake. Kitty was just leaving! She couldn't! She was his! His! What did she expect but jealousy?

Find me and show me,

What do you want from me?

There's gotta be better than this!

Oh-wah-oh!

Kitty had to get out of there before she said anything else so stupid as "was your girlfriend" She didn't want to leave Lance! Did she?

I don't wanna leave you,

But may be I need to!

Kitty ran out of the door before the whole building collapsed. She had to get home. But she wasn't mentioning any of this to Kurt!

There's gotta be better than this!

Oh-wah-oh!

Kitty phased into the mansion, sneaking up to her room hoping to avoid Kurt, whom she had seen in the kitchen as she passed. Sitting on her bed she began to cry. Why did it all have to go so wrong? She loved Lance, not Kurt, right? Bamf! Kurt appeared beside her.

If only you would never know.

"Keety I saw you sneaking past, vhat happened vith Lance?"

Kurt put a comforting arm around Kitty, who sobbed into his velvety fur.

"Fuzzy. . .I don't know. . .he said. . .well. . .I just had to get out of there. He probably thinks I don't want to date him anymore!"

If only you would never know.

Kurt lifted her eyes to look in to his.

"Do you?" It was a genuine question meant to help Kitty, and she knew this, but it only confused her further.

"Well. . .there's. . .I think. . .but I might. . .but y. . ." Hold up! She had almost told Kurt that she might love him. Not the best path to take here Pride! She did love Lance, right? Yes.

"Y. . .yes. I lo. . .love Lance." Kitty said only slightly uncertainly.

If only you would never know.

Kurt was frozen, had she almost said what he thought she had almost said! There was nobody beginning with a "y". The only word he could think of was "you". Don't be an idiot Wagner, she could never love you! She said she loved Lance. Besides, if she. . .if she loved him, but couldn't, wouldn't break up with Lance for him. No. He didn't want to know the truth. He just wanted Kitty to be happy. So Kurt did one of the hardest things in his life, for his Kaztchen.

"Then go, Kitty. Go tell him."

Authors note: Well, did the story go anywhere there? No? Didn't think so. Honestly, this has a plan, something will happen. Slowly. Please R&R hope you liked!
